Ah, fork it

It is open, you know. I remember saying when it came out, all it takes is one guy with coding skills and a real problem with advertising to come out with a "Nickelplate" fork of Chrome, but with a "disable ads" checkbox built in. Let them finish writing it first, and I bet you'll see an ad-free fork of it within a week. Think Iceweasel.
